Mike- The problem I'm having is that I'm not finding any tables with heat of fusion/melting point at all. I can look up a particular chemical compound and...
Laren- Right now, it's just idle speculation. I was reading the threads about ice houses and passive annualized cooling. My neck of the woods (Pacific...

Finally the chest refrigerator conversion has settled into a pattern of working well. This conversion uses the Sears Access Plus chest freezers that have a...
And before anyone points me to Greg's posts on his conversion, I'm hoping for something a bit simpler. No holes to drill, if it can be helped :-) (And good on...
Hi all, I'm wanting to lower our electricity consumption by a lot (currently 1000 kwh/mo) and it looks like converting a freezer to a fridge would be a good...
Hi Mary, Before picking the fancy Sears freezers to convert I looked at the standard chest freezers available here in Missouri. I'm sure any of them would...
Hi Greg, Thanks for the detailed reply. Yes, the inconvenience of using a freezer needs to be carefully weighed against the energy savings. I'd already thought...

... I've just joined this group and wondered if anyone has considered using a simple time switch on the power. Cheap units are readily available that allow for...
Mary, If you are using 1,000 kwh per month then there are MANY places to try to cut back. At my high point I was using 1,800 kwh/mo during winter months. With...
"Ed Kitto" <edkitto@...> ... Hi Ed; A thermostat works a lot better. There is no advantage, and only disadvantage, from trying to use some other method. ...
Hi all, You guys have been great with ideas on reducing the electrical load. Thank you! Some of you have mentioned solar as a power source. I would LOVE to go...
